Oh Melissa

They say we don't appreciate what we have until it isn't there anymore
So true, so sad & so true
I had everything a man could hope for
Love
Trust
Loyalty
And Respect
Yet I threw it away
I would love to say it is because I was young and wasn't ready but I know that's no excuse
Melissa...
I'm sorry
Melissa...
Forgive me
Melissa...
I won't even ask you to take me back because I know I don't deserve it
Melissa...
You were and always will be my queen
The epitome of perfection is summed up in your essence, and maybe just maybe I'm placing you on a pedestal the world may feel you don't deserve but they don't know you like I do
Melissa
Melissa
I failed you as a man
I failed you as a friend
I just failed
You would think so many years removed I would have gotten past this
But you can't get past the best thing you ever had easily...
I miss you...
and wanna kiss you
I wanna hold you and show you that I can be the man for you
But I know the love is lost and I am too late
Oh Melissa
Oh Melissa
You are the greatest love I ever lost
And the greatest love I will never forget
Melissa...
